I totally agree.

I too was angry at Christin for a very long time due to the advice she gave. I did come to the realization, though that she too was deceived by "The Kimmer". She's apologized. She's spoken up against Kimmer and the diet. What more can we ask her to do?

Speaking of Tippy, I'm almost positive she was the one that banned me. I saw a couple of current posts from her, but didn't take time to read them. Just noticed they had just been posted, so I know she was there when I did it. The one that posted about being spammed told me to "go back to LCF." Now, how did she know where I was hangin' out???

I responded with

Maybe we all should wear red dresses in our photos and have Russian sounding names for a week or so.

I hope everyone was able to reach others with all of the bombings last night.

Has anyone asked any questions about it?

Attention all past and present Kimkins affiliates!

On October 3rd, I emailed Heidi to ask that she pay me my affilate fees. They were only $45.00 because I had removed her banners from my website earlier in the month. I received an email from her in which she said they were paid by the 5th and she would ask them to do mine first. Thirty minutes later, I received an email from a "Brad Johnson" the supposed current affiliate manager. He told me they were reviewing my account for payment and that I needed to include my Social Security # for payment! Ummm, yea...sure. Do I have stupid written on my forehead? Like I'd give her my SS# so she can run off to Venezuela and become ME! LOL I wrote "him" back saying I received all my previous payments without the SS# and that with all the KK controversy going on, I would NOT be giving them my SS#. Of course, the 5th came and went and no payment. So, I wrote Heidi back this morning telling her what "Brad" said and that I would appreciate her having them pay me today. Here's what I received back.

"Hi Lisa,

The computer will not allow payment until your earnings reach the minimum $45.00 and there was a refund yesterday which subtracted an earned commission. Your current balance is $29.98.

It's your choice to not provide a social security number. Kimkins will send this email to the IRS with your name and address so they can contact you for the information.

Kimmer"

Was she threatening me with the last paragraph?? LOL Here was my final response to her:

"Kimmer,

Yes, please do forward it to them, since they already have my SS#, so they can contact me. I have a lot I'd like to tell them, myself.

Lisa"

So, now all of a sudden, a refund was posted to my account the day after I ask for payment? She's going to refund me right into the red until I owe her money. LOL

To get to main point of my post. If you know anyone who was or is a Kimkins affilate, PLEASE have them go into their accounts and first take a screen shot of what they are owed by Kimkins. Then have them change their contact information. Since the new site upgrade, there is a place in the affiliate accounts that asks for an SS#. I had never filled it in. This morning, I went in to delete my account which cannot be done. So, I changed all my contact information, name, address, phone number, etc. to bogus information. Exampe, I just put a single letter for both my first and last name, 123 "I Don't Think So" for the address and 123-456-1234 for the phone number. Just something to fill in the blanks so you can update it. PLEASE pass this around to people you know and feel free to continue reposting it off and on in this forum and any others. As a disclaimer, I am not accusing Heidi of anything, but with the present controversy, I think we all would agree that we would not want her or her employees to have our personal contact information, let alone our SS#'s. Since we KNOW there was no Vanessa, I'm sure there is no Brad either. Thanks for your help in advance.

Blessings,
Lisa

I guess I am still confused. A kimkins member I know well who has always been very supportive and positive to everyone was banned after she sent a pm with the _link_ to the news story to 2 members of a challenge forum she started. She was and is very upset by this action and very puzzled by it too. I echo her confusion and think that the TOS needs further clarification. Please advise.JODIB Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable

I see. Can you please PM me with her email addy? I'll also need her username here. Maybe I can help. Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable

Why isn't JODIB catching on that people are being banned for WHAT THEY PM! Not just what they post...

And that is really, really creepy. And enough reason to leave Kimkins, beyond all the other stuff.

I also note the "starvation" levels of her fitday as posted. Only in recent records has she gone up to safer and more rounded levels of eating. Her Kimkins-ing was definitely in VLCD mode--400s and 500s, some 300s, with many days with nothing but protein--no veggies at all. Wow. And yet TT will say that is just an EXTREME person. B.S.!

Yep, she's a loon and a dangerous bird at that!

I read somewhere that she was actually a "failed" WLS post-op. Has anybody else heard this? Maybe it was in that reply (to Slamboard?) from somebody saying they were a relative? Sorry I am fuzzy on it. Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Boujie, I scoured KK today and although I didnt see direct comments, Fawwwwwny and SL continue to preach that although KK isnt on the Up & Up, there really isnt anything wrong with that...... Somehow that reminds me of the gangs of girls in school who walked in packs behind a bully, repeating everything she says.

She will be a jail bird soon!

"If you’re still on the fence about whether lower calories means ruined metabolism, keep in mind that gastric bypass patients are intended to eat around 500 calories a day after surgery. It’s the entire purpose of the surgery. Those that follow the 500 calorie instructions lose extremely fast. Those who can’t commit and pick easily digestible high calorie foods like mashed potatoes, candy, soda, chips, alcohol and ice cream don’t lose or may even gain.
If you’re considering a diet don’t be afraid of losing quickly. Do be afraid of the side effects of obesity. It only take a few extra pounds before developing Type 2 diabetes and once you have it, it’s for life. Your cells never regain their ability to use insulin.
Naturally I’d like to suggest the Kimkins Diet for anyone who’s serious about losing weight. But the Kimkins program is strict, it’s not for sissies. It’s for people who want to lose now."
So the choices are starvation or junk food? And if you can't starve yourself you're a sissy. I think this sums up the whole philosophy of this disgusting sham of a "diet".

Your excerpt was a great example of how the Kimkins diet limits calories and demeans the members who aren't eating the 500 calories a day.
